RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. — To help cover the escalating costs caused by land movement damage, the city of Rancho Palos Verdes is exploring the possibility of making Palos Verdes Drive South a toll road.

The city is seeking financial help from state and federal agencies as the costs of the damage are outpacing the city’s ability to cover them. 

Mayor David Bradley said the toll road is only one option being explored and is a long way off from being implemented, if at all. 

Although county supervisors have helped with about $4.2 million worth of contributions, the city has spent over $40 million in the last fiscal year responding to the emergency.
